Reactive dyes, their preparation and use

ABSTRACT

Compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which the variables are as defined in the claims, which are suitable as fibre-reactive dyes for dyeing widely varying fibre materials, are described.

This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/715,055 filed on Sep. 17, 1996.

The present invention relates to novel reactive dyes, processes for their preparation and their use for dyeing or printing textile fibre materials.

The practice of dyeing using reactive dyes has recently led to increased requirements regarding the quality of the dyeings and the economics of the dyeing process. Consequently, there continues to be a need for novel reactive dyes which have improved properties, in particular in respect of application.

Reactive dyes which have an adequate substantivity and at the same time a good ease of washing off of the non-fixed portions are now required for dyeing. They should furthermore show a good dyeing yield and have a high reactivity, and, in particular, dyeings with high degrees of fixing should be produced. The known dyes do not meet these requirements in all properties.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of discovering novel, improved reactive dyes for dyeing and printing fibre materials which have the qualities described above to a high degree. The novel dyes should be distinguished, in particular, by high fixing yields and high fibre-dye bond stabilities, and furthermore the portions not fixed on the fibre should be easy to wash off. They should furthermore produce dyeings with good allround properties, for example light and wet fastness properties.

It has been found that the set object can be largely achieved with the novel reactive dyes defined below.

The present invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of reactive dyes of the formula (1), which comprises reacting in each case about 1 molar equivalent of a compound of the formula ##STR38## in which

D, R, R₁, X and Z are each as defined above, with one another in any sequence.

The diazotization of the compound of the formula (6) and coupling of the product with the compound of the formula (7) or a reaction product of the compounds of the formulae (7), (8) and, if appropriate, (9) are carried out in the customary manner, for example by diazotizing the compound of the formula (7) in mineral acid solution, for example hydrochloric acid solution, with a nitrite, for example sodium nitrite, at a low temperature, for example at 0 to 5° C., and then coupling the diazotization product with the corresponding coupling component at a neutral to slightly acid pH, for example at pH 3 to 7, and preferably 5 to 6.5, and low temperatures, for example 0 to 30° C.

The condensation reactions between the compounds of the formulae (7), (8) and (9) are in general carried out analogously to known processes, as a rule in aqueous solution at temperatures of, for example, 0 to 50° C. and a pH of, for example, 4 to 10. If D is, for example, the radical of a monoazo or polyazo chromophore, instead of the compound of the formula (9), it is also possible to employ an intermediate, for example a diazo component or coupling component, in the process and to provide the radical D only in the subsequent course of the process by a corresponding diazotization and coupling reaction. The most important process variants are described in the examples.

The compounds of the formulae (6), (7), (8) and (9) are known or can be prepared analogously to known compounds. Any introduction of a carboxy- or carbamoylpyridinium radical X or X' is as a rule carried out after a condensation reaction of the corresponding cyanuric halides.

The dyes according to the invention are fibre-reactive. Fibre-reactive compounds are to be understood as meaning those which are capable of reacting with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose, the amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl or thio groups of wool and silk, or the amino and, where appropriate, the carboxyl groups of synthetic polyamides to form covalent chemical bonds.

The dyes according to the invention are suitable for dyeing and printing widely varying materials, such as fibre materials containing hydroxyl groups or containing nitrogen.

Examples are silk, leather, wool, polyamide fibres and polyurethanes, and in particular all types of cellulosic fibre materials. Such cellulosic fibre materials are, for example, the natural cellulosic fibres, such as cotton, linen and hemp, and cellulose and regenerated cellulose. The dyes according to the invention are also suitable for dyeing or printing fibres, containing hydroxyl groups, which are contained in blend fabrics, for example mixtures of cotton with polyester fibres or polyamide fibres. The dye mixtures according to the invention and the dyes according to the invention are particularly suitable for dyeing or printing cellulosic fibre materials. They can also be used for dyeing or printing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre materials.

The dyes according to the invention can be applied to the fibre material and fixed to the fibre in various ways, in particular in the form of aqueous dye solutions and printing pastes. They are suitable both for the exhaust method and for dyeing by the pad-dyeing method, in which the goods are impregnated with aqueous dye solutions, which may contain salts, and the dyes are fixed after treatment with alkali or in the presence of alkali, if appropriate under the action of heat or by storage at room temperature for several hours. After the fixing, the dyeings or prints are rinsed thoroughly with cold and hot water, if appropriate with the addition of an agent which has a dispersing action and promotes diffusion of the non-fixed portions.

The dyes according to the invention are distinguished by a high reactivity, good fixing capacity and a very good build-up capacity. They can therefore be employed by the exhaust dyeing method at low dyeing temperatures, and require only short steaming times in the pad-steam method. The degrees of fixing are high and the non-fixed portions can easily be washed off, the difference between the degree of exhaustion and degree of fixing being remarkably low, i.e. the soaping loss is very low. The dyes according to the invention, and in particular the dye mixtures according to the invention, are also particularly suitable for printing, especially on cotton, but also for printing nitrogen-containing fibres, for example wool or silk, or blend fabrics which contain wool or silk.

The dyeings and prints produced with the dyes according to the invention have a high colour strength and a high fibre-dye bond stability both in the acid and in the alkaline range, and furthermore a good light fastness and very good wet fastness properties, such as fastnesses to washing, water, seawater, cross-dyeing and perspiration, as well as a good fastness to pleating, fastness to ironing and fastness to rubbing.

The following examples serve to illustrate the invention. The temperatures are stated in degrees Celcius, parts are parts by weight and percentage data relate to percentages by weight, unless stated otherwise. Parts by weight bear the same relation to parts by volume as the kilogram to the litre.

EXAMPLE 1

18 parts of cyanuric chloride are suspended in 45 parts of ice/water at about 0° C. and the pH is brought to 2 with phosphoric acid. A neutral solution of 32 parts of 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (H acid) in 320 parts of water is added dropwise and the pH is kept constant at a value of about 2 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. When the condensation reaction has ended, a neutral solution of 25 parts of 1-hydroxy-6-methylaminonaphthalene-3-sulfonic acid (N-methyl-I acid) in 250 parts of water is added and the pH is increased to 7 and kept constant at this value by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the condensation reaction has ended.

56 parts of 4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline are suspended in 560 parts of water, and the pH is brought to 4.5 and the temperature to 0° C. 18 parts of sodium nitrite and 50 parts of concentrated HCl are added, the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for one hour and excess nitrite is destroyed with sulfamic acid (solution of diazo component 1).

The reaction solution prepared above, which comprises the condensation product of cyanuric chloride with H acid and N-methyl-I acid, is added to the solution of the diazo component and the pH is increased to 6.5 and kept at this value during the subsequent coupling. Thereafter, the resulting dye solution is freed from inorganic salts by dialysis and evaporated, the compound of the formula ##STR39## resulting as a red powder which dyes cotton in bright red shades with good allround properties.

EXAMPLE 41

18 parts of cyanuric chloride are suspended in 45 parts of ice/water at about 0° C. and the pH is brought to 2 with phosphoric acid. A neutral solution of 32 parts of 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (H acid) in 320 parts of water is added dropwise and the pH is kept constant at a value of about 2 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. When the condensation reaction has ended, half the amount of the solution, prepared according to Example 1, of diazo component 1 is added and the pH is controlled by addition of sodium hydroxide solution such that it is constant at about 6.5. When the coupling has ended, a neutral solution of 25 parts of N-methyl-I acid in 250 parts of water is added and the pH is increased to 7 and kept constant at this value by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the condensation reaction has ended.

The reaction solution is added to a diazo solution which has been prepared beforehand from 20 parts of 2-amino-5-methoxybenzenesulfonic acid in 200 parts of water, 9 parts of sodium nitrite and 25 parts of concentrated HCl, by a procedure analogous to that in Example 1 for the solution of diazo component 1, and the pH is brought to 6.5 with sodium hydroxide solution and kept at this value during the subsequent coupling. At the end, the resulting dye solution is freed from inorganic salts by dialysis and evaporated. The compound of the formula ##STR45## results as a red powder which dyes cotton in bright red shades with good allround properties.

EXAMPLE 81

18 parts of cyanuric chloride are suspend in 45 parts of ice/water at a temperature of 0° C. and the pH is brought to 7 with phosphate buffer solution. A solution of 27 parts of 2,5-diaminobenzene-1,4-disulfonic acid is added dropwise, during which the pH is kept constant at 7 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. When the condensation reaction has ended, 9 parts of sodium nitrite and 25 parts of concentrated HCl are added and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for one hour. After excess nitrite has been destroyed with sulfamic acid, 20 parts of finely powdered 5-carbamoyl-1-ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-pyridone are introduced and the pH is increased to 7 with sodium hydroxide solution and kept at this value until the reaction is complete. When the coupling has ended, a neutral solution of 25 parts of 1-hydroxy-6-methylaminonaphthaline-3-sulfonic acid (N-methyl-I acid) in 250 parts of water is added and the pH is increased to 7 and kept constant at this value by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the condensation reaction has ended. The resulting reaction solution is added to half the amount of the solution, obtained according to Example 1, of diazo component 1 and the pH is increased to 6.5 and kept at this value during the subsequent coupling. Thereafter, the resulting dye solution is freed from inorganic salts by dialysis and evaporated, the compound of the formula ##STR47## resulting as a powder which dyes cotton in bright orange-red shades with good allround properties.

EXAMPLE 157

14 parts of cyanuric fluoride are added dropwise to a cold solution of 25 parts of N-methyl-I acid in 250 parts of water at pH 4.5. When the condensation reaction has ended, a neutral solution of 27 parts of 2,5-diaminobenzene-1,4-disulfonic acid is added and the pH is kept constant by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. When the condensation reaction has ended, 9 parts of sodium nitrite and 25 parts of concentrated HCl are added and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for one hour. After excess nitrite has been destroyed with sulfamic acid, 20 parts of finely powdered 5-carbamoyl-1-ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-pyridone are introduced, and the pH is increased to 7 with sodium hydroxide solution and kept at this value until the reaction is complete. The resulting reaction solution is added to half the amount of the solution, obtained according to Example 1, of diazo component 1 and the pH is increased to 6.5 and kept at this value during the subsequent coupling. Thereafter, the resulting dye solution is freed from inorganic salts by dialysis and evaporated, the compound of the formula ##STR53## resulting as a powder which dyes cotton in bright orange-red shades with good allround properties.

EXAMPLES 233

18 parts of cyanuric chloride are suspended in 45 parts of ice/water at 0° C. and the Ph is brought to 7 with phosphate buffer. A solution of 25 parts of N-methyl-I acid in 250 parts of water is added dropwise and the pH is kept constant by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. The reaction solution obtained after the condensation reaction is added to half the amount of the solution, obtained according to Example 1, of diazo component 1 and the Ph is increased to 6.5 and kept at this value during the subsequent coupling. A solution of 47 parts of 3-ureido-4-(4,8-disulfonaphthyl-2-azo)-aniline in 470 parts of water is added dropwise and the pH is kept constant at 7 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. After removal of the salts and evaporation, a powder which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula ##STR59## and dyes cellulose in bright orange-red shades with good allround properties is obtained.

The dyes of the formulae ##STR60## can be obtained in an analogous manner to that described in Example 233.

EXAMPLE 234

The procedure described in Example 233 is repeated, using the equivalent amount of N-methyl-y acid instead of N-methyl-I acid. The compound of the formula ##STR61## which likewise dyes cellulose in bright orange-red shades with good allround properties, is obtained.

The following dyestuffs of the formulae ##STR62## can be obtained in a manner analogous to that described in Example 234.

EXAMPLE 235

The procedure described in Example 234 is repeated, using an equivalent amount of the compound of the formula ##STR63## instead of 47 parts of 3-ureido-4-(4,8-disulfonaphthyl-2-azo)aniline. The compound of the formula ##STR64## which dyes cellulose in an olive shade with good allround properties, is obtained.

The dyes of the formulae ##STR65## can be obtained in a manner analogous to that described in Example 235.

EXAMPLE 236

A neutral solution of 32 parts of H acid in 320 parts of water is added dropwise at 0° C. to the reaction solution of 28 parts of 4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline diazotized according to Example 1, and the pH is kept constant at 2.5 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the coupling is complete.

18 parts of cyanuric chloride are suspended in 45 parts of ice/water at a temperature of 0° C. and the suspension is buffered with phosphate buffer. A neutral solution of 19 parts of 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid in 190 parts of water is added dropwise and the pH is kept constant at 5 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. When the condensation reaction has ended, 9 parts of sodium nitrite and 25 parts of concentrated HCl are added at 0° C., the mixture is stirred at this temperature for one hour and the excess nitrite is then destroyed with sulfamic acid.

The two reaction solutions prepared above are combined, the pH is increased to 7.5 and the mixture is stirred for one hour.

When the coupling has ended, a neutral solution of 25 parts of 1-hydroxy-6-methylaminonaphthalene-3-sulfonic acid (N-methyl-I acid) in 250 parts of water is added and the pH is increased to 7 and kept constant at this value by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the condensation reaction has ended. The reaction solution is added to a solution of 28 parts of 4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline diazotized according to Example 1 and the pH is increased to 6.5 and kept at this value during the subsequent coupling. Thereafter, the resulting dye solution is freed from inorganic salts by dialysis and evaporated to give the compound of the formula ##STR66## which dyes cellulose in a black shade with good allround properties.

The dyes of the formulae ##STR67## can be obtained in a manner analogous to that described in Example 236.

EXAMPLE 237

56 parts of 2-methoxy4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline are suspended in 560 parts of water and the pH is brought to 4.5 and the temperature to 0° C. 18 parts of sodium nitrite and 50 parts of concentrated HCl are added, the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for one hour and excess nitrite is destroyed with sulfamic acid.

A neutral solution of 32 parts of H acid in 320 parts of water is added dropwise at 0° C. to the reaction solution of 28 parts of 2-methoxy-4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline, diazotized as described above, and the pH is kept constant at 2.5 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the coupling is complete.

18 parts of cyanuric chloride are suspended in 45 parts of ice/water at a temperature of 0° C. and the suspension is buffered with phosphate buffer. A neutral solution of 19 parts of 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid in 190 parts of water is added dropwise and the pH is kept constant at 5 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. When the condensation reaction has ended, 9 parts of sodium nitrite and 25 parts of concentrated HCl are added at 0° C., the mixture is stirred at this temperature for one hour and the excess nitrite is then destroyed with sulfamic acid.

The two reaction solutions prepared above are combined, the pH is increased to 7.5 and the mixture is stirred for one hour.

When the coupling has ended, a neutral solution of 25 parts of 1-hydroxy-6-methylaminonaphthaline-3-sulfonic acid (N-Methyl-I acid) in 250 parts of water is added and the pH is increased to 7 and kept constant at this value by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the condensation reaction has ended. The reaction solution is added to a solution of 28 parts of 4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline diazotized according to Example 1 and the pH is increased to 6.5 and kept at this value during the subsequent coupling. Thereafter, the resulting dye solution is freed from inorganic salts by dialysis and evaporated to give the compound of the formula ##STR68## which dyes cellulose in a black shade with good allround properties.

EXAMPLES 267

14 parts of cyanuric fluoride are added dropwise to a cold solution of 19 parts of 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid in 190 parts of water at pH 5 and the pH is kept constant by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the condensation reaction has ended. Thereafter, a neutral solution of 25 parts of N-methyl-I acid in 250 parts of water is added and the pH is increased to 7 and kept constant at this value by addition of sodium hydroxide solution until the condensation reaction has ended. The reaction solution is then added to a solution of 28 parts of 4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline diazotized according to Example 1, and the pH is increased to 7 and kept at this value during the subsequent coupling reaction. Thereafter, the product is rediazotized by addition of 9 parts of sodium nitrite and 25 parts of concentrated HCl and the nitrite excess is destroyed with sulfamic acid.

A solution of 32 parts of H acid in 320 parts of water is added to a solution of 28 parts of 4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline, diazotized according to Example 1, and the pH is kept constant at 2 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. The solution of the coupling product is then added to the previously prepared diazo solution, the pH is increased to 7.5 and the mixture is stirred for one hour. The dye solution is then freed from salts by dialysis and evaporated. The compound of the formula ##STR72## results as a dark powder which dyes cellulose in a black shade with good allround properties.
